Why do ice cubes always float at the top of a glass of water?

Physics

AnnZ [28]3 years ago

Because water is a very very very very very unusual substance ... It's
the only known substance whose solid form is less dense than its liquid
form near the same temperature.

In other words, water is the only known substance for which a solid lump
of it floats in a liquid glass of it.

If that were not true ... if the behavior of the density of water around its
freezing temperature were the same as the density of all other known
substances ... then life on Earth would be impossible.

Think about that for a while !  Ya gotta admire whoever it was that designed water !

. A water balloon is thrown horizontally at a speed of 2.00 m/s from the roof of a building that is 6.00m above the ground. At t
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Height of building

H = 6m

Horizontal speed of first balloon

U1x = 2m/s

Second ballot is thrown straight downward at a speed of

U2y = 2m/s

Time each gallon hits the ground

Balloon 1.

Using equation of free fall

H = Uoy•t + ½gt²

Uox = 0 since the body does not have vertical component of velocity

6 = ½ × 9.8t²

6 = 4.9t²

t² = 6 / 4.9

t² = 1.224

t = √1.224

t = 1.11 seconds

For second balloon

H = Uoy•t + ½gt²

6 = 2t + ½ × 9.8t²

6 = 2t + 4.9t²

4.9t² + 2t —6 = 0

Using formula method to solve the quadratic equation

Check attachment

From the solution we see that,

t = 0.9211 and t = -1.329

We will discard the negative value of time since time can't be negative here

So the second balloon get to the ground after t ≈ 0.92 seconds

Conclusion

The water ballon that was thrown straight down at 2.00 m/s hits the ground first by 1.11 s - 0.92s = 0.19 s.

What gravitational force does the moon produce on the earth is their centers are 3. 88x10^8 m apart and the moon has a mass of 7
vitfil [10]

The Moon is 3.8 108 m from Earth and has a mass of 7.34 1022 kg. 5.97 1024 kg is the mass of the Earth.

<h3>What kind of gravitational pull does the moon have on the planet?</h3>

On the surface of the Moon, the acceleration caused by gravity around   1.625 m/s2 which is 16.6% greater than on the surface of the Earth 0.166.

<h3>What does the Earth's center's gravitational pull feel like?</h3>

Gravity is zero if you are in the centre of the earth since everything around you is pulling "up" (up is the only direction).

<h3>Where is the Earth's and the moon's gravitational centre?</h3>

It is around 1700 kilometres below Earth's surface.

How do we work out the world time zone differences​
Virty [35]
To find the time zone in hours of a particular location, you can take the longitude -- in degrees -- and divide it by 15. So, for example, 75° E would be 75/15 which equals 5. That translates to the time zone being 5 hours ahead of UTC or GMT time, which can also be labeled as UTC+5. i hope this helped if not then sorry

A 1-kilogram turtle crawls in a straight line at a speed of 0.01 m/sec what is the turtles momentum
Arada [10]

Momentum = (mass) x (speed) = (1 kg) x (0.01 m/s)  =  0.01 kg-m/s
